Johnny Depp continues to come out on top in the court of public opinion, and experts are saying that could be even more important than winning his defamation case against Amber Heard. Texas civil lawyer Katherine Lizardo said: "When [Johnny Depp] stepped off the stand, I think he already won based on his definition of winning. Heard, 36, then countersued for US$100m (NZ$153m), protesting that Depp defamed her by calling her a liar over her abuse allegations. Lizardo told the Post winning the legal side of the defamation case doesn't matter to Depp. But if the jury finds that Heard defamed Depp, then "her career would be done", Ahouraian declared.
